Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Body in good condition. Several places on hood, trunk, and top with scuffs from things being placed on the paint. Abrasion on passenger side rear near wheel well where I backed it into garage too close to wall. Lower engine cover missing — came off in deep snow. Driver's side front wheel well missing liner — had blowout a couple of years ago and disintegrating tire destroyed liner. Several chips in hood and front fascia from stones. We live in a dusty area, and because of this, there is some minor sand abrasion to front of vehicle. Clear coat on BBS wheels coming off in places, causing some discoloration to alloy — wheels should be stripped and resprayed with clear coat. Some floor mat fasteners missing — local idiot car wash personnel had no clue they were supposed to stay on floor mats. Check Engine Light came on at 40,000 miles — P0441 is EVAP Emission Contr. Sys. Incorrect Purge Flow, and P0117 is Engine Coolant Temp. Circ. Low Input. Neither code has hampered functionality of car."

I am forced to sell my baby — 2001 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg Edition 1.8T. I love this car, but a change in our financial status means I can no longer afford to maintain this beautiful car. I bought it used in 2004 with 24,000 miles on the odometer. Since that time, it has always been garaged, maintained, and loved by me and only me. No one else besides me has ever driven this vehicle. I have religiously changed the oil every 3000-4000 miles with Mobil1 0W/40 oil and filter. I washed it by hand as the need arose. It has never needed front end alignment, and tires were changed before running bald. It has been mostly driven in-town, with occasional short trips elsewhere. Never smoked in. I am indeed sad to have to sell my baby.

Let me talk about the features of this vehicle. It is a Wolfsburg Edition VW, meaning it has larger alloy wheels, and a sport-tuned suspension. It sits lower to the ground than a typical Jetta. This means cornering and handling are much more precise. It is equipped with VW's legendary 4-cylinder 1.8 Liter engine, which has a factory turbocharger and intercooler, producing 150 horsepower at 5700 RPM. Honestly, it feels like way more than 150 horsepower with 8-9 pounds of boost from the turbo. This car has a manual transmission, which in my way of thinking, is the only way a VW should be equipped. This Jetta is equipped with eight airbags — steering wheel, front passenger, side curtain on both sides (both front and back), and rear occupants (two). Steering wheel and shift knob are leather-wrapped. 14.5 gallon fuel tank capacity. Midnight Blue Metallic paint. Four factory-supplied BBS 16-inch RS-GT racing wheels with 205-55R16 tires. Full-size spare tire with jack and toolkit. One switchblade radio key fob (was only supplied with one, other key and valet key not supplied when sold to me). Black cloth interior with grey accents. Highly bolstered cloth seats. Daytime running lights. Immobilizer anti-theft system. Automatic Skid Reduction (ASR) program. VW Standard single-CD/tape/radio system (best sounding stock audio system I have ever heard). Does NOT have CD Changer. Ice cold air conditioning. Rear window defogger. Black floor mats. Factory-supplied user guide in glove compartment. Car was assembled in Mexico of German parts.

• This car's Check Engine Light (CEL) came on at 40,000 miles, and has been on ever since. P0441 is EVAP Emission Contr. Sys. Incorrect Purge Flow, and P0117 is Engine Coolant Temp. Circ. Low Input. Neither code has hampered functionality of car. We do not have a VW dealership where I live, and the nearest one is two hours away. My research online told me that these two codes were minor problems, and can safely be ignored until car can be brought to dealership for service. I do not think other codes have come up on the CEL.

• Lower engine compartment cover was lost in deep snow several years ago. Problem typical with cars like this. Have replacement that I never installed. Will include in sale. Also will include splash guards I purchased and never installed. Front driver's side wheel arch liner mostly missing, owing to a blowout I had a couple of years ago. Disintegrating tire destroyed plastic wheel arch liner.

• Was involved in a minor crash at a 4-way stop in our neighborhood last year. Was stopped, a giant Hummer whose driver was texting, came up to my right to his stop sign, and ran it as I pulled away. He hit me at less than 5 MPH on the passenger side rear quarter panel, breaking out tail light and puncturing sheet metal. Was repaired by local body shop with offender's insurance — Progressive.

• Abrasion on new paint where it was repaired last year. I back this car into our garage, and came in too steep a few months ago, and rubbed against a shelf, abrading paint to primer. Should be an easy fix.

• Several places on trunk lid, hood, and top, where over the years, something was placed on the paint and moved without picking it up. This caused superficial scuffing, which can easily be fixed. Always a problem on dark paint. Several dings and scrapes on body in various places, which is typical for a 12-year-old car. Overall, paint is clean and bright, from having been garaged when not in use.

• Several places on nose of car where stones have chipped paint. We also live in a dusty area, and so have minor dust abrasion to front of car and windshield. One small crack and one small non-spreading bullseye in windshield.

• Thin rubber coating on plastic surfaces on interior of car flaking away. Common problem with VWs of this generation.

• Driver's side window regulator is in need of replacement. Causes car to not recognize when driver's door is opened or closed. Not a big problem. Window rolls up and down without issue. Mainly means interior lights do not come on when door is opened.

• Cruise control installed but not functional. Was this way when I bought the car. Told by my mechanic that it has been disabled in software, and will have to be re-enabled with VAG-COM at dealership.

• Told by local Porsche mechanic that bearing in alternator is drying out, causing it to squeal at low RPM. Alternator has never been replaced.

• Run with K & N air filter. Have had no problems using this.

• BBS wheels shedding their clear coat. This is causing discoloration of alloy beneath in places. Most noticeable on passenger's side rear wheel. Approximately 40% of life left on existing tires. Three Continental tires, and one Falken tire, bought used when I had a blowout.

Now let me discuss service I have had done to this vehicle over the years. The first problem I experienced was a clutch slave cylinder failure. This is on the clutch housing. Its failure meant no clutch actuation at all. I took it to a local "foreign car" specialist, who used an improper procedure to replace it. In the process, they knocked a hole in the transmission housing. This meant the transmission also had to be replaced. I retrieved my car from this shady outfit and took it to the local authorized Porsche mechanic. He explained to me what this so-called specialist did to my car, showing me where they used a hydraulic jack to suspend transmission, thereby knocking a hole in it. I sued the shop for the cost of the transmission, but failed for lack of proof. Both clutch slave cylinder and transmission were replaced.

The next year after this problem, the timing belt shredded, and bent three of the twenty valves in the head. Valve head was machined and valves replaced. Timing belt replaced at the same time. This was at 53,000 miles.

Shortly thereafter, water pump failed. Replaced. Refilled with VW coolant. The next year, the windshield wiper motor seized. Replaced.

Last year, I noticed a coolant leak. I traced it to a blown coolant hose that supplies the turbocharger. Replaced. About the same time, coolant thermostat failed. Replaced.

This is everything I have done to this car. After the initial incident, I used the local Porsche mechanic for all service. Always used VW's red coolant, diluted 50/50 distilled water when refilling. Oil changed every 3000-4000 miles with Mobil1 0W/40 oil and filter. Serpentine belt replaced at same time as water pump. Just 75k miles on this car! Added boost gauge to see exactly how much boost the turbo produces. Stays between 8-10 pounds of boost for my altitude. I mainly used this vehicle to take my kids to and from school, and now that they're both in high school and unwilling to drive a stick, I should sell this car and get something we are all willing to drive.

Like I said earlier, a change in our financial status means we can no longer afford to maintain this car properly. An oil change costs $50-$60, and the car requires premium fuel, which is 30-40 cents per gallon higher than other grades. We are also afraid of the next big problem that may surface, being financially unable to fix it. I will also include the Bentley manual for this car. It covers everything from overhaul to oil change, and has CEL code descriptions and VAG-COM data. VW uses them in their shops. Will also include lower engine compartment cover and a set of splash guards (Only if I can find them :P) Also have spare switchblade key fob that is cut for this car, but is unprogrammed. Car will have to be hooked up to VAG-COM to force it to recognize new key.

This vehicle is strictly sold as-is, with no warranty, neither expressed nor implied. I do promise it to be in good condition, as you see in the photos I've added here. Upon successful auction, buyer is expected to place a deposit with me in the amount of $1000 via Cashier's Check sent overnight, and the balance is to be paid upon delivery of vehicle to buyer. I DO NOT USE PAYPAL. After successful transaction, clear title will be signed and given to you, so you may title it in your state. I wish for car to be picked up from me within seven calendar days of auction's end.

Major automakers urge Trump not to freeze fuel economy targets

Mon, May 7 2018

WASHINGTON — Major automakers are telling the Trump administration they want to reach an agreement with California to avoid a legal battle over fuel efficiency standards, and they support continued increases in mileage standards through 2025. "We support standards that increase year over year that also are consistent with marketplace realities," Mitch Bainwol, chief executive of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, a trade group representing major automakers, will tell a U.S. House of Representatives panel on Tuesday, according to written testimony released on Monday. The Trump administration is weighing how to revise fuel economy standards through at least the 2025 model year, and one option is to propose freezing the standards through 2026, effectively allowing automakers to delay investments in technology to cut greenhouse gas emissions from burning petroleum. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has not formally submitted its joint proposal with the Environmental Protection Agency to the White House Office of Management and Budget for review. Even so, last week, California and 16 other states sued to challenge the Trump administration's decision to revise U.S. vehicle rules. Auto industry executives have held meetings with the Trump administration for months and have urged the administration to try to reach a deal with California even as they support slowing the pace of reduction in carbon dioxide emissions that the Obama administration rules outlined. One automaker official said part of the message to President Donald Trump at a meeting on Friday will be to consider California like a foreign trade deal that needs to be renegotiated. Automakers want to urge him to get automakers a "better deal" Â— as opposed to potentially years of litigation between major states and federal regulators. On Friday, Trump is set to meet with the chief executives of General Motors, Ford, Fiat Chrysler and the top U.S. executives of at least five other major automakers, including Toyota, Volkswagen AG and Daimler AG, to talk about revisions to the vehicle rules. Senior EPA and Transportation Department officials will also attend. Environmental groups are eager to keep the rules in place, saying they will save consumers billions in fuel costs. A coalition of groups plans to stage a protest outside Ford's headquarters in Michigan.

Suspended VW exec Hackenberg resigns in wake of scandal

Fri, Dec 4 2015

Ulrich Hackenberg, father of the innovative modular architecture that underpins many modern Volkswagen and Audi products and a 30 year veteran of the giant company, has resigned his position as the lead engineer for the entire Volkswagen Group as well as his seat on Audi's management board, reports Automotive News. The resignation closes out a two-month suspension while the investigation into VW's deceptive emissions practices continues.The resignation follows the admission by Audi that the 3.0-liter TDI V6 engine was also fitted with emissions-control defeating software, like some of its four-cylinder TDI counterparts. In turn, this lead to changes in Audi's management structure. AN reports that Matthias Muller, who has already taken over Martin Winterkorn's position as VW Group CEO, will also be named chairman of the Audi brand.Hackenberg's successor was named as part of this announcement. Stephan Knirsch, who has lead engine development at the Audi division, will assume Hackenberg's roles as both board member for Audi in charge of technical development, and as the head for technical development across the whole group.Related Video:
